a TERRIFIC STRUGGLE.
An Editing Bull Fight on the Nebraska
Plains.

=
LINCOLN, Neb., April 20. Yesterday fore
noon +. w. Flowerdew, a farmer living
alone many miles west of here, was out in the
field stepping Off a portion to plow, when he
noticed range steer about half mile dis
tant. He went on with the measurement,
but presently, hearing something approach,
turned and saw che steer coming at him full
speed head down and about twenty yards
away. Mr.. Flowerdew was not armed, and
his way to avoid being struck by the
hsst charge was to dodge it, which he did.
The steer turned and came again, but with
not 80 much force, and Flowerdew sue
ceeded in getting his right hand into its nos
trils. Here the battle began between man
and beast. To one it meant life or death; to
the other it made no difference For area
they had 200 square miles of level plain, In
the center Of which the sky dropped to the
earth to form the boundary of the scene Of
action. No Caesar was there to crown the
victor, and no amphitheater i'll Roman gran
deur TO applaud. The nose was the best
place Flowerdew could have got hold Of the
maddened brute, and backward and forward
they struggled.
The steer was three years old, and as
Flowerdew is tall and powerful man, it
made nearly equal fight. For over half
an hour they struggled. All the while
Flowerdew was working his way to the
house, in front Of which he secured heavy
club When he got hold Of this he had lit
tie better show, and commenced to pound
the steer over the head and nose. This the
steer stood aud suffered, but the minute the
pounding stopped the brute charged and had
to be beaten of. The last desperate effort
made by the steer knocked Flowerlew to the
ground Although the animal was fast fail
ing from loss of blood, it gored its victim
horribly, Flowerdew's injuries are fatal.
The steer from the loss of blood and OK
haustion, fell dead on his side.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.-Hong Dye, the
Chinaman whu murdered Mrs. Billion in
Colusa county several days ago, has not yet
been captured 1t had been thought that
the murder was entirely unprovoked, but it
now appears that Weaver, whom the China
man shot, had baen in the habit Of abusing
Dye, and OH the day of the shooting had ad-
ministered whipping to the Chinaman In
the presence OF Mrs Billion. Hence, the
Chinaman shot her after first killing as he
supposed Weaver. In addition to the three
Cinnamon killed for the crime, it is said that
another was killed at Jacinte by party of
searchers, and there is a report that still
another had been hanged in the mountains.
